Can Spurs really beat Real Madrid?

It’s not impossible for Spurs to win the Champions League. But however good their progress has been…it is highly unlikely.

The competition has thrown up unlikely winners in the past, but those teams usually had Mourinho as their manager.

This is no disrespect to Harry Redknapp. Spurs have showed that they have the requirements to be in the last eight of the Champions League. William Gallas and Michael Dawson have been outstanding.

So, tonight they meet Real Madrid in Spain. And I see no way of beating the giant Spanish team home or away…it really is a tall order. But the one thing that they have going for them is the fact that Harry Redknapp is an English manager, and Real Madrid don’t often play against teams that, at least try, to play Pommie soccer. Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal are full of non-British players with a non-Btitish manager playing non-British soccer.

Real Madrid should, and most probably will go through, but…who knows what Harry can pull out of the bag.
